In the given figure AB ∥ CD and EF is the transversal line. ∠AGE = 3x and ∠GHD = 2x. Find the value of x.
Given:
AB ∥ CD
∠AGE = 3x
∠GHD = 2x
Concept:
Vertical opposite angles are equal.
If a transversal intersects two lines so that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
Calculation:
∠AGE = ∠BGH = 3x (Vertical opposite angles)
∠GHD = ∠CHF = 2x (Vertical opposite angles)
∠BGH + ∠GHD = 180°
(if a transversal intersects two lines so that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.)
⇒ 3x + 2x = 180°
⇒ 5x = 180°
⇒ x = 36°
∴ The value of x is 36°
The correct option is 2 i.e. 36°
Final the value of x in the given figure where PA || QC
Calculation
Draw a line XB parallel to PA and QC
∠ PAB and ∠ ABX are co interior angles
Let ∠ ABX be x and ∠ XBC be y
⇒ 135° + ∠ x = 180
⇒ ∠ x = 45°
∠ XBC and ∠ BCQ are co interior angles
⇒ 150° + ∠ y = 180
⇒ ∠ y = 30°
∠ B = ∠ x + ∠ y
∠ B = 30° + 45° = 75°
In the given figure, ∠ABC = 80°, ∠BAC = 40° and ∠CDE = 70°. What is the value of x?
∠ABC = 80°, ∠BAC = 40° and ∠CDE = 70°
Concept used:
The sum of all the angles of the triangle is 180°
Vertically opposite angle is equal
Sum of all the angles on the straight line is 180°
In ΔABC
∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 80° + 40° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° - 120°
⇒ ∠ACB = 60°
∠ACB = 60° = ∠DCE
Now, In ΔCDE
∠DCE + ∠CDE + ∠CED = 180°
⇒ 60° + 70° + ∠CED = 180°
⇒ ∠CED = 50°
Now, ∠CED + ∠DEF = 180° ----(Linear pair)
⇒ 50° + x = 180°
⇒ x = 130°
The ratio of two complementary angles is 5 : 4
Concept Used:
The sum of the two complementary angles are 90°
Let two angles be 5x and 4x
5x + 4x = 90
⇒ x = 10
two angles are = 50° and 40°
Difference between them = 50° - 40°
⇒ 10°
∴ required difference is 10°
Line AB and CD intersect to each other at 'O'. ∠AOD = 70°. Find the supplementary angle of ∠BOD?
∠AOD = 70°
∠AOD + ∠BOD = 180° (Linear pairs of angles)
⇒ 70° + ∠BOD = 180°
⇒ ∠BOD = 180° - 70°
⇒ ∠BOD = 110°
∴ Supplementary angle of ∠BOD = 180° - 110° = 70°
The correct option is 1 i.e. 70°
Supplementary angle: Two angles are called supplementary when their measures add up to 180°.
Linear pairs of angles: A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles that makes a straight line.
In ΔABC, 2∠A = 3∠B = 6∠C
The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°
Let, 2∠A = 3∠B = 6∠C = 6k
so, ∠A = 3k, ∠B = 2k and ∠C = k
Now, in ΔABC
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
3k + 2k + k = 180°
6k = 180°
k = 30°
∠A = 3k = 90°
∴ ∠A is 90°
The ratio of the sides of the triangle is 3 ∶ 114 ∶ 314
If a2 + b2 > c2, then it is acute triangle
If a2 + b2 = c2, then it is right triangle
If a2 + b2 < c2, then it is obtuse triangle
Let the side of the triangle be 3x, 5x/4 and 13x/4
Now, (3x)2 + (5x/4)2
⇒ 9x2 + 25x2/16
⇒ 169x2/16
⇒ (13x/4)2
Here, (3x)2 + (5x/4)2 = (13x/4)2
∴ It is the right-angled triangle
The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 160°. How many sides does the polygon have?
Formula used -
In a regular Polygon,
each interior angle + each exterior angle = 180°
∠ I + ∠ E = 180°
Sides = 360°/(exterior angle)
Given -
internal angle of a polygon = 160°
Solution -
∠ I = 160°
⇒ ∠ E = 20°
⇒ sides = 360°/20°
⇒ sides = 18
∴ sides of polygon = 18.
Alternate MethodInterior angle of a regular polygon = 180×(n−2)n
Where
n = number of sides
160 = 180×(n−2)n
160n = 180n - 360
20n = 360
n = 18
∴ Number of sides of a regular polygon = 18
Number of diagonals in a polygon is 135
Number of diagonals = n (n – 3)/2
Where n is the number of sides in a polygon
Total number of diagonals is 135
∴ 135 = n (n - 3)/2
⇒ n2 – 3n – 270 = 0
⇒ n2 – 18n + 15n – 270 = 0
⇒ (n – 18) (n + 15) = 0
⇒ n = 18, -15
In the following figure, AOB is a straight line, then find the value of θ?
Given
AOB is a straight line.
Formula:
If AOB is a straight line, then ∠AOB = 180°.
∠AOD + ∠DOC + ∠COB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOD + 70° + ∠COB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOD + ∠COB = 180° – 70°
⇒ ∠AOD + ∠COB = 110°
⇒ θ + 15° + θ – 5° = 110°
⇒ 2θ + 10° = 110°
⇒ 2θ = 110° – 10°
⇒ 2θ = 100°
⇒ θ = 100°/2
∴ θ = 50°
